Never in our lives have we witnessed the fast-forwarding failure in a struggling species. In the rear-view mirror, we see a one-sided dictated salmon recovery that is barely holding on and is met by mental arrogance. This will be forced to be forgotten as fish enter this newest environmental challenge.
Human populations are heating our world. Where water once flowed, those areas now have gone dry. Those in control of fish policies are fast-forwarding salmon into warm-flowing veins of extinction. Global warming was not part of an 1867 treaty, either. No, they confused us before now. Sustainability is critically crippled and then they kick out the crutches. Our ocean now easily consumes the already failing effort.
Propagating of every salmon for spawning by body size restoring them in nature is a must. Man has turned salmon into an “over-restrictive effort.” We need to close certain mouths, realize what fish are for real and therefore change the ink from a “guessing at wild” process.
Salmon can prosper. Giving our propagations back to nature is free and easy but is held back by a hard-headed science illusion that is not working.
